DECORATIVE ART.
THIRTY YEARS IN THE CITY Oh
CHICAGO.
One of the Oldest Inhabitants Gives
Thrilling Experience Of His Rescue
from Death.

From the Chicago Daily News June 20. lsJ
In public places, especially in the summer
season, the eye is often attracted by neat
decorations which cmbellish chandeliers
and ceilings as protection against those hu.
man pests, the flies, which, however, serve
their purpose as the scsvengers Of the air.
The designs employed are ofttimes really
works of art. and the det way in which
they are attached to walls and ceilings SO
as to propect them; gives an impression q
airy lightness which is pleasing to the eye.
No man has probably spent SO much timo
in Chicago on this line Of trade as the sub.
ject of the following sketch; He has been q
resident of Chicago for thirty years, coming
here with his parents when only 10 years Of
age, and having grown up with the city his
name is known to thousands Of her people.
Within n short time such wonderful
change has taken place in his personal ap-
pearance that it has attracted the attention
Of his friends as we'll as that Of a reporter,
who called upon him within day or two
and obtained the following sworn statement

A ConviCt's Career,

Louisville Commercial: In the south.
crn prison at JeffersOnville, Monday,
Frank Gulliver, a half-breed Miami In
dian, who was serving a life sentence for
the killing OF two men in barroom fight
at Richmond. Ind., in 1867, breathed his
half negro, was perfect brute IN dispo-
sition, and greatly feared by all who
knew him. He was a butcher, and had
the reputation of being able to disem-
bowel more porkers in a single day than
any other man in the state. Gulliver has
engaged in many contests of this kind,
and often large sums of money were
staked on the result. Those who placed
their money on the half-breed never lost.
He could, il it became necessary, use the
scalping knife with as much skill as a
full .tledged Comanche. At the time of
his arrest for the killing at Richmond the
county seat of Wayne county was at
Centreville, and to that place he was
hurried by the sheriff to saye HIM from
being lynched. 1t was twenty years ago,
and the Jail at Centreville was then a
huge log structure, but very substantial
ly built. Gulllver made several attempts
to dig through the walls, but always
failed. Finding that he could not gam
set fire to the building, and was in fair
way to be crematcd, when the jailer dis
tSee.sd tbe prisoners wnas was fRe Building % tho"sh
much damaged waSAot totally destroyed.
The old criminal was in his seventieth
year, and had finished twenty years OF
scrvitude. He was born on the Indian
reserve in Howard and Upton counties
Indiana, and spent his boyhood days
there with the Miami Indians. He has
one brother, a barber, doing business in
indianapolis, and it is likely he will at
tend to the disposing of the remains
Although three score and ten years o.
age, he had never been i'll until taken
about week ago with pneumonia.

Painless Regulation.

1t is no longer question of doubt
although the contrary was once believed
that medicines which produce violent
effects are unsuited to other than desper-
ate emergencies. In other words, that
super-potent remedies are calculated to
weaken and iniurc the system rather
than reform its Irregularities. Among
medicines of debllitating effect are
cathartics and cholagogues which copi
ously and abruptly evacuate the bowels.
Because it does not do this, Hostetters
Stomach Bitters are preferable to the
drenchlng class of pergatives. Painless
in its effects, 1t is sufficiently active to
remedy chronic constipation. 1t re.
lieves by lnvigorating the intestines, and
enables. not forces, them to perform the
duty imposed upon them by nature. Pro-
noting the secretion of bile in normal
quantities by its BEAUTIFULLY stimulating
effect upon the liver, 1t is emnently con-
ducive to digestion, and contributes in no
small degree to keep the bowels regular

LEADS TO CONSUMPTION.
Interesting Evidence Of u COndi.
II OH Not 10 BE Iriiicd With.

The disease from which Mr.. Hoover suf.
fered was catarrhal consumption. The
disease originated in a cold, which became.
chronic. AS a result came the formation oi
mucus, which was partly discharged from
the head or dropped down the throat and
was partially hawked up. A large portion
Of it, however, was swallowed, passing into
the stomach and causing catarrh there.
The mucus formed by catarrh decomposes,
and when it reaches the stomach is either
absorbed in the blood, producing all
manner of evil symptoms, or else coats
over the food with Shiny material, which
prevents the food from coming in contact
with the digestive juices in the stomach.
The food itself decomposes. forms gas or
wind in large quantities, and causes a feel
ing of bloating or fullness after eating.
When the catarrh has existed in tho
head and the upper part of the throat for
any length of time-the patient living In
district where people are subject to catarrh-
al affecton-and the disease has been left
uncured, the catarrh invariably, sometimes
slowly, extends down the windpipe and
into the bronchial tubes, which tubes con-
vey the air to the different parts of tho
lungs. The tubes become affected from
the swelling and the mucus arising from
catarrh, and in some instances becomes
plugged up so that the air cannot get in as
freely as it should. Shortness OF breath
follows and the patient breathes with labor
and difficulty.
In either case there is sound of crack
ling and wheeling inside the chest. At
this stage Of the disease the breathing is
usually more rapid than when in health.
The patient also has hot flashes over his
body.

Oat Straw for Stock.

In recent report of conclusions,

CAT straw, Prof. Sanborn, Of Missouri,
says that this straw is mainly valuable as
a heat and fat producer. 1t does not pro-
duce much fat, because cattle will not
eat enough of it. 1t contains but IA per
cent of digestible albumlnoids or flesh
formers, and 40 per cent of digestible
carbohydrates or fat formers. Hence,
to use it with advantage and get the full
benefit of it, it must be fed with q food
directly the opposite kind, such as oil
